Module (jackson-databind 2.10.0.pr2)

java.lang.Object
- com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.Module

All Implemented Interfaces:

com.fasterxml.jackson.core.Versioned

Direct Known Subclasses:

SimpleModule
```
public abstract class Module
extends Object
implements com.fasterxml.jackson.core.Versioned
```
Simple interface for extensions that can be registered with ObjectMapper to provide a well-defined set of extensions to default functionality; such as support for new data types.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`abstract String`	`getModuleName()` Method that returns a display that can be used by Jackson for informational purposes, as well as in associating extensions with module that provides them.
`Object`	`getTypeId()` Method that returns an id that may be used to determine if two `Module` instances are considered to be of same type, for purpose of preventing multiple registrations of "same type of" module (see `MapperFeature.IGNORE_DUPLICATE_MODULE_REGISTRATIONS`) If `null` is returned, every instance is considered unique.
`abstract void`	`setupModule(Module.SetupContext context)` Method called by `ObjectMapper` when module is registered.
`abstract com.fasterxml.jackson.core.Version`	`version()` Method that returns version of this module.

  - getModuleName
```
public abstract String getModuleName()
```
    Method that returns a display that can be used by Jackson for informational purposes, as well as in associating extensions with module that provides them.
  - version
```
public abstract com.fasterxml.jackson.core.Version version()
```
    Method that returns version of this module. Can be used by Jackson for informational purposes.

    version in interface com.fasterxml.jackson.core.Versioned
  - getTypeId
```
public Object getTypeId()
```
    Method that returns an id that may be used to determine if two Module instances are considered to be of same type, for purpose of preventing multiple registrations of "same type of" module (see MapperFeature.IGNORE_DUPLICATE_MODULE_REGISTRATIONS) If `null` is returned, every instance is considered unique. If non-null value is returned, equality of id Objects is used to check whether modules should be considered to be "of same type"
    Default implementation returns value of class name (Class.getName()).

  - setupModule
```
public abstract void setupModule(Module.SetupContext context)
```
    Method called by ObjectMapper when module is registered. It is called to let module register functionality it provides, using callback methods passed-in context object exposes.
